iFanboy Make Comics Podcast #30 – Story vs. Page Count

Show Notes

Running Time: 00:11:33

Paul wants to fit a lot of comic into a small space, while also introducing a new world. Is there a good way to do this? Can you do a completely story in 3, 5, or 8 pages? Sure you can. But the writer is going to make choices. Josh and Andy get into this, but also end up talking about the editing feat that is the New 52 from DC among other things, because of the introduction of many, many first acts, and what has to happen to make those issues work.

Take note! The Make Comics Podcast has moved to its own feed, which you can subscribe to in iTunes, or here manually.
